Farmhouse sunset

With this picture I will take a break, of a week or so. Tonight some Dutch guests will arrive and on Friday, my youngest daughter will get married. She will be the last of the brood to leave the house and then we will happily suffer from Empty Nest Syndrome.

Lovely image, Louis!
Congratulations on your daughters' marriage!
My coworker will be coming home to South Africa for Christmas... she'll be gone a month and we will suffer without her- but I'm so pleased she'll get to see her family!

Louis: Thanks and thank you, Elizabeth.

Most people I know have family somewhere in the wide world. My family (mom and dad's decent) - not that many. My older brother has two daughters - one in the US and the other in Saudi - but she is moving to California early next year.

So, starting with Sinterklaasdag, you'll have a week of celebration. I happened to be one of those who LOVED the empty nest. Maybe you will, too? Lots of time to enjoy the sunsets.

Louis: I believe I will love the empty nest. It is written that there is a time to come and a time to go. We watched a televised movie the other night (British and can't remember the name, but it was about a wedding) - in it the statement was made that the groom was in it for the marriage and the bride was in it for the wedding. Not necessary a golden rule - but I found a very interesting comment - what with the hullabaloo being made of weddings, nowadays.

HA I doubt that you will suffer from the empty nest syndrome. I think you already have lots of plans to do. Enjoy your time with the family. Congratulations with the marriage, is this the daughter who loves horses and is a good rider??
Fabulous picture, what a way to leave for a while.

Louis: She is the one tht loves horses and still is riding. Thanks for the comment and good wishes.
